       11 . A display apparatus comprising: 
 a display;    a stand to support the display when in an upright position; and    a pivot supporter to fixedly connect a first end of the stand to the display and to allow the stand to rotate about the first end with respect to the display to and from the upright position.    
   
   
       12 . The display apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the pivot supporter comprises a stopper to latch the stand in the upright position to provide stability when the stand and the display are set in the upright position.  
   
   
       13 . The display apparatus according to  claim 11 , further comprising: 
 a base that is removably coupled to a second end of the stand to support the stand and the display on an installation surface.    
   
   
       14 . The display apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the stand is rotatable between the upright position in which the stand extends downward at a rear side of the display, and a packing position in which the stand extends laterally at the rear side of the display.  
   
   
       15 . The display apparatus according to  claim 11 , wherein the pivot supporter comprises: 
 a display bracket fixed to a rear side of the display and having a display through hole;    a stand bracket fixed to the first end of the stand and having a stand through hole; and    a pivot shaft disposed in the display through hole and the stand through hole such that the stand bracket is rotatable with respect to the display bracket.    
   
   
       16 . The display apparatus according to  claim 15 , wherein the pivot supporter further comprises: 
 a stopper disposed between the display bracket and the stand bracket to latch the stand in the upright position with respect to the display bracket.
